[Spectral characteristics and monosaccharide composition of interferon-inducing antiviral polysaccharide from
Abstract:
This article presents the results of spectral analysis, monosaccharide composition and interferon-inducing properties of the polysaccharide from Heliantnus tuberosus L. Based on the spectral characteristics and the monosaccharide composition it was concluded that polysaccharide belongs to glucan class, presumably--β-glucan. It has been shown that the polysaccharide complex of the Heliantnus tuberosus L. cell wall exhibits interferon-inducing properties both in experiments in vitro, and in vivo. It has been supposed that in polysaccharide stimulated models interferon is produced for all three species--α, β, γ. Antiviral and therapeutic effects of polysaccharide were shown.
